The NERS system was proposed by the Indian government in the aftermath of the 2012 Nirbhaya-rape case in Delhi. Kerala could soon become the first state in the country to implement the National Emergency Response System(NERS) proposed by Union government. The NERS was envisaged as a system to integrate all the present emergency numbers to one platform. The single emergency number would be 112.
